"Islamophobic"

Islamophobic? Or are there merely in error regarding the threat posed by Muslim militants? Everythingi needs to be labelled...

CACI, which has been on the ground as lucrative defense contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan from the beginning, has undisclosed ties with neocon, Islamophobic think tanks bent on keeping us in those wars. @EliClifton: https://t.co/YXpcySZ2m9

Following the Example of Francis

Ismail, the goal of extremists is, among other things, to divide us. You are right. We mustn't let it happen. We are brothers. To fellow Catholics, please do not tar Islam itself or Muslims as a group with guilt for the crimes of violent radicals. That is unfair and un-Christian. https://t.co/bbOjB6fE4B

Two Responses

Doing good includes the pursuit of justice, especially a proper punishment, and security of the French people, and closing their borders. But probably not according to Jorge Bergoglio.

I am close to the Catholic community of #Nice, mourning the attack that sowed death in a place of prayer and consolation. I pray for the victims, for their families and for the beloved French people, that they may respond to evil with good.

L’islamisme est un fanatisme monstrueux qui doit être combattu avec force et détermination. Il n’arrêtera pas sa guerre. Nous africains le savons hélas trop bien. Les barbares sont toujours les ennemis de la paix. L’Occident, aujourd’hui la France, doit le comprendre. Prions. +RS

"Interfaith Dialogue" at the Academic Level

This is "conservatism."

Sunday's event features an important discussion between President Hamza Yusuf and Dr. Thomas Hibbs of the University of Dallas on the crisis of nihilism in current American culture and how liberal education addresses that problem.

It Shouldn't Need to Be Said

But the pope has no infallibility with regards to another religion. According to Latin teaching so far.

More Indifferentism?

Because God's grace is present everywhere and in everyone? Rahner's anonymous Christians? Or an even worse justification?

Someone may defend this on the basis of natural religion or of God's mercy, that God will hear the prayers of everyone who asks Him for His mercy. But that this is an initiative of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity does make it suspicious.

CNA/CWR: Vatican backs worldwide interfaith day of prayer and fasting

I would like to remind you that on 14 May, believers of every religion are invited to unite themselves spiritually in a day of prayer, fasting and works of charity, to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus #pandemic. #HumanFraternity #PrayTogether

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) May 11, 2020

But then there is this claim that all believers can perform works of charity. Maybe "charity" is being used here stripped of its supernatural meaning, as non-believers and even Christians do. But should the pope be promoting this confusion?

The “Prayer for Humanity,” day on May 14 will be an opportunity for all believers “to #pray, fast and do works of charity,” #PopeFrancis said.https://t.co/Kr2B7Y4QBG#PrayerForHumanity #COVID19 #coronavirus #pandemic #interreligious #faith@VaticanNews @arochoju @AlAzharUniv

Whose Errand?

What exactly is this solidarity or fraternity? Is it the same as friendship in Christ, or charity? How does the pope know that God desires this? Has he revealed it through Christ?

CNA: Pope Francis: God desires solidarity among Catholics and Muslims

“Why does God allow so many religions?” Pope Francis asked at his general audience following the trip.“Scholastic theologians referred to the ‘permissive will’ of God. He willed to permit this reality: that there are many religions,” he said.

So we must look for the full text for the audience to see what he meant by this.





Finally... a full text.


Let us assume that it is an accurate translation of the Italian:

Why are there so many religions, and why ever are there so many religions? With the Muslims we are descendants of the same Father, Abraham: why does God permit so many religions? God willed to permit this: the theologians of Scholasticism referred to God’s permissive voluntas. He willed to permit this reality: there are so many religions; some are born of the culture, but always looking to Heaven, looking at God. However, what God wills is fraternity among us in a special way — here is the reason for this trip — with our brothers, children of Abraham like us, the Muslims. We must not be scared by the difference: God has permitted this. We must be scared if we don’t act with fraternity, to walk together in life.

He is confused about what "permissive will" means, since it [generally] does not mean that God allows it as a good thing -- rather, it is a bad thing which God nonetheless allows. Pope Francis seems to be saying that God permits the plurality of religions, which all look at God (false) -- and that we should take solace in the fact that God has permitted this and have some sort of fraternity with Muslims.
